About Sky4U

Sky4u was conceptualized by Vivek and Palak Shah. Its perspective is that by educating a child, you are not simply educating a child or a student, but also benefiting society as a whole.

At Sky4u, we don’t just offer financial support – we provide the love and guidance of a parent. We are looking for individuals who are willing to take on the important role of supporting a child throughout their career, helping them to soar and reach for the sky. It’s not just about money – it’s about becoming a guardian and helping a young person achieve their dreams.

Sky4u is about how, just as the sky has various hues, so does a child. Each child has a unique preference for distinct regions and hues. Education in its truest sense transforms a child’s character and enables him or her to achieve success.
